Enter ye in by the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many are they that enter in thereby.
The way to heaven is narrow, pent up, not the great highway men naturally tread. The way to death is broad, thronged, entered without effort or thought. Diligence is needed to enter life; none reach it by course, but only by striving.
AI summary
The flesh wars against Christ's doctrine at every turn, so you must learn to confine your desires within the boundaries He prescribes. The narrow gate and thorny road lead to life, but men ruin each other by wicked example, and in the vast crowd of the lost, they do not believe themselves ruined.
AI summary
Two ways alone exist for mankind: strait and narrow to life, broad and wide to destruction. Few walk the hard path because evil habits cling, old companions in sin hold fast, and the multitude crowds the road to hell. But love makes the narrow way delightful once faith and patience take hold.
